To make this recipe you will need:
1. Refrigerate the coconut milk, as well as the mixer bowl and beaters, for a few hours before starting the preparation.
2. Just before serving, cut the watermelon into slices and, using a cookie cutter or a glass, form perfect circles.
3. Then whip the coconut milk or cream with a drizzle of maple syrup to soften it. 4. Gradually add beet juice until you get a nice pink tint — about four teaspoons is enough for a delicate effect.
4. Spread a generous portion of cream on each round of watermelon.
5. Add a touch of crunchy buckwheat for contrast and, for an artistic touch, garnish with small pieces of beetroot cut into flowers or fine patterns.
"I tested this revisited tartlet with the Red Watermelon Shiver to surprise my lover during a romantic tea party, and it was a real success! The flavors of watermelon, beetroot and coconut cream blend perfectly, with the crunch of buckwheat which adds a touch of texture. At first, I was skeptical because of the beetroot, but what a treat! We tasted this aphrodisiac dessert, accompanied by champagne, and the atmosphere became more and more sparkling with each spoonful, and with each sip."
